Britain's greatest palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and a World Heritage Site... Set in 2,100 acres of stunning 'Capability' Brown landscaped parkland and award-winning formal gardens, Blenheim Palace was a gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation to the 1st Duke of Marlborough, following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. This masterpiece of English Baroque architecture was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, featuring magnificent Nicholas Hawksmoor ceilings and the intricate stone work of Grinling Gibbons. It is only fitting then that in 1874, Britain's greatest palace was the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, our 'Greatest Briton'.
Today, you can take a guided tour of the gilded state rooms, which house one of the finest collections in Europe, including family portraits, sculptures, Boulle furniture and the famous 'Victory Tapestries', charting the military campaigns of the 1st Duke of Marlborough; marvel at the grandeur of the Long Library, running 55 metres in length and considered to be Nicholas Hawksmoor's finest room, with stucco decoration in the false domes by Isaac Mansfield and a spectacular 1891 Willis organ; and admire the remarkable murals painted in the style of trompe-l'œil by Louis Laguerre in the central saloon, also known as the state dining room, and now used by the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough once a year on Christmas Day.
Both a monument and a mausoleum, Blenheim offers an unforgettable glimpse of British history.

Home of a very English tradition, the afternoon tea... Set in a beautiful 3,000-acre deer park, Woburn Abbey has been the home of the Dukes of Bedford for nearly 400 years. Dating back to 1145, the Abbey was originally a religious house for Cistercian monks, when in 1547 King Henry VIII bequeathed the Estate to Sir John Russell, the 1st Earl of Bedford.
Woburn Abbey is celebrated for housing one of the most significant private art collections in the world, including paintings by Cuyp, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Van Dyck and Canaletto. A tour of the Abbey covers three floors, with 18th century French and English furniture, silver and gold collections, and a wide range of porcelain. Of special note, the 'Armada Portrait', in the Long Gallery, was painted by George Gower in 1588. This legendary symbolic portrait of Elizabeth I commemorates the victorious sea battle against the Spanish Armada, portraying the Tudor Queen as commander of the seas.
Home of a quintessentially English tradition, afternoon tea is said to have originated at Woburn Abbey around 1840, when Duchess Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford, was entertaining her friends in the Blue Drawing Room. Finding the time between luncheon and dinner too long, the Duchess introduced a light tea, served mid-afternoon.
Elizabeth I, Charles I, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert all visited Woburn Abbey over the years, but you don't have to be royalty to visit one of Britain's most treasured houses.

Dating back to 1577, the historical Villiers Hotel was the main Coaching Inn of Buckingham in the days of Cromwell and is designed around the cobbled courtyard that once stabled 150 horses. The oldest part of the building has retained many of the original features of the old Swan and Castle Inn with low ceilings and stone built walls. Local legend maintains that Oliver Cromwell billeted his troops in the cockloft of the Swan and Castle Inn during the Civil War when Buckingham was vulnerable to attacks from both London and Oxford in 1643.

The town of Buckingham dates back as early as 914 when it played an important military role against the Danes at a time when it was vital for all Southern towns to fortify themselves against invasion - Buckingham was created with this fortification. By the time of the Norman Conquest, Buckingham had become a royal borough and was passed through many royal hands, reinforcing its royal status. Today Buckingham is characterised by a fine array of Georgian buildings, each with their own fascinating story to tell. It is a bustling market town full of history.

Situated adjacent to the hotel, Buckingham Villiers Hotel offer a self-contained meetings centre for up to 250 delegates with its own dedicated staff and facilities. The meetings rooms feature oustanding AV equipment including interlinked video screening between all meeting and syndicate rooms with touch screen control of all services, broadband connectivity and high specification sound-proofing.
